It's a tough act to achieve during this time. I felt like I was leading a double life when my mom was ill. You chat with friends and go about your daily business, but then you visit them you're drawn into this completely other world. Keep strong Patricia, you know God will welcome him just at the right time. <br /><br />You look lovely in the new dress, and your Easter cake looks amazing. Have a wonderful week ... maybe a bit of our snow will help cool you down? And yes, that was a cardinal in my yard. I have a very sweet pair visiting my feeders, so I make sure there are always sunflower seeds there for them (their favourite). <br /><br />Wendy xSeptember Violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931133319044031928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-40923666077540574262016-04-04T19:34:38.616-07:002016-04-04T19:34:38.616-07:00Thank you Shane, it is a bit of turmoil these days...Thank you Shane, it is a bit of turmoil these days re the old father.

We have been beset by changes of staff at Dad's care facility, which has a big and negative impact on him. Consistency is everything when the memory is almost nil.

I love your muted silver and white ornaments.<br /><br />I too have been wondering how your father is. It must be very hard to have to deal with the personality and mood changes that so often accompany dementia as it worsens. We've seen this in our own family as my mother-in-law's younger sister has just had to go into residential care because her husband can no longer cope with her severe dementia.<br /><br />Thinking of you all. xxPerpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-87537865106434778332016-03-30T07:11:58.218-07:002016-03-30T07:11:58.218-07:00I'm happy to share the banana pudding recipe: ...I'm happy to share the banana pudding recipe: http://thesavvvyshopper.blogspot.com/2013/05/banana-pudding.html.<br /><br />Sometimes a successful recipe becomes a blog entry on The Savvy Shopper, so when I want to make it again, I can look it up myself. :)<br /><br />Here's the corn bread recipe: http://thesavvvyshopper.blogspot.com/2013/03/hearty-split-pea-soup-and-cornbread-for.html.<br /><br />You know, I see a pattern to my recipes: one pan, easy. :)Debra Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04553596042707601518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-29502150076797526642016-03-30T03:45:15.906-07:002016-03-30T03:45:15.906-07:00I have managed to reduce the pink, but somehow I d...I have managed to reduce the pink, but somehow I don't think it will all disappear :)<br />Good for you, going with the prettiest colour of all.<br />Oh, that is sad, losing your Dad at that young age.
